Our eternal life will not be in these bodies
because they still have the taint of sin of Adam's fall.
"The taint of sin of Adam's fall" is a euphemism for what we inherit from Adam...
From Adam we inherit DEATH...
THAT is why our eternal life will not be found in these bodies...
Our flesh will die but our souls live on...
That's why Mary was not sinless.
That doesn't follow...
We do not inherit sin from Adam...
We inherit death...
That is why all (sinners) have sinned...
The sin we commit because of the inheritance of death is all our own...
And it varies in degree from person to person...
Which demonstrates why repentance is accessible to the fallen...
The fallen are not necessarily sinful, but they will necessarily die...
